Speed blogging

You’ve heard of “speed dating”, right? Well, hang on – here comes the speed blogging whirlwind!

Oakridge Ministries – Anadarko, OK  4/10 – 4/22
Great SOWER project! Wonderful time spent with friends, old and new, big electrical job completed, big drapery job hung and hemmed, house renovation begun, deck built and stained, many peanuts eaten.

Time with the Kids in Ohio – April 28 – May 8
Snuggles and giggles and swing sets and gymnastics and ballgames. So good to spend time with these littles and their parents!

Michigan Quick-Trip – May 2-4

Right in the middle of our Ohio Kids Week, we took a quick trip to Holland, Michigan to connect with friends we hadn’t seen in several years. Such a sweet visit – with very little picture taking!

And on our way back to Columbus, we picked up Lizzie, who had been hanging out outside of Dayton getting a new exhaust manifold. That’s what emergency funds are for, right?

Girls’ Week 2017 – May 13 – 20
We were only settled in Montrose for a couple of days before I took off for Girls’ Week, which held several bonuses. It started with visits with friends and then our Canadian family, included time at a sweet cabin near Joie’s, helping out with soft pretzel making at the school where Joie teaches, and wrapped up with a sweet visit with some of Joie’s kids and grands.

Man, I love these ladies!
So blessed to not only call these ladies sisters but also dearest friends. We're wrapping up Girls Week 2017 - such wonderful memories!! One of the very best weeks of the year! #bffs #girlsweek #sisterlylove

 

Cabin Visits – TWO!!
I ended up at the cabin at the end of Girl’s Week, and then Gary and I returned last weekend for another quick visit. After being away from the cabin last summer, it did my heart good. Really good!

Montrose Bible Camp – May 11 – Aug ??

It’s good to back at our favorite (this year, anyway!) summer SOWER spot – Montrose Bible Camp. There’s lots of work for us to do (as always), and I know we’ll be kept busy. Gary’s big job right now is doing the electrical and ductwork for the dorms that are being renovated. We’ve been joined by another couple this month, and are expecting another couple in August. Yippee!!! All indicators are that it’s going to be a great summer!

and also folding the never ending supply of sheets.

And that, my friends, brings this corner of the internet up to date. I’m a little out of breath from all this Speed Blogging – thanks for hangin’ in there with me!
